BTC - Volunteers needed for Buster Britton Tri (6/14)

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:06:00 GMT

Volunteers needed for Saturday, June 14th for Canoes at Buster Britton Triathlon. Join Team Magic and BTC as this race continues to honor the life of Buster Britton. Buster is one of the Birmingham area's original runners, turned "triathlete." He lost his life in a fun run after completing the Hawaii Ironman only a short time earlier. Buster was a true inspiration for all athletes involved in swimming, biking and running. He was a member of the BTC and as the sport of triathlon began to take shape in Alabama, Buster helped shape many runners into the multisport athletes that they are today! BTC has always helped with this event as we continue to honor the man helped "pave the wave" from runner to triathlete. BTC is a Sponsor of the race by providing volunteers for the Canoes. BTC Volunteers needed for the Buster Britton Triathlon - June 14th- Oak Mountain State Park. The BTC is looking for Volunteers to "Man" the Canoes for the Buster Britton Triathlon, Saturday, June 14th at Oak Mountain State Park. There will be 6 - 7 canoes, with each canoe having 2 people. The Canoes will be in the lake to assist swimmers if they get into trouble, and keep the swimmers on course. As a volunteer your entry in to Oak Mountain is free. No skills required, just need to paddle a canoe. If you have your own canoe, let us know and we can see if Oak Mountain will waive the canoe fee. We would like to have volunteers at Oak Mountain Marina by 6:45am, and into the water at 7am. Race starts at 7:30am, and the volunteers for the canoe would be done by 9:30 am at the latest. The Team Leader for BTC at the Canoes will be Jim Taylor. If you can help, please sign up via the Web link below. The Buster Britton Triathlon is put on by Team Magic, and the BTC is a Sponsor of the Buster Britton Triathlon. If you have questions email Trish at <a href="mailto:runtrish@bellsouth.net">runtrish@bellsouth.net</a> If you can volunteer, please sign up via the Web link: <a href="http://team-magic.rd20.com/Volunteers/RegistertoHelp/tabid/144/EventID/95/Default.aspx">http://team-magic.rd20.com/Volunteers/RegistertoHelp/tabid/144/EventID/95/Default.aspx</a>

BTC - 1200 Mile Club

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 13:23:00 GMT

Hello! The month of May is now finished and you know what that means! It's time to turn in those May miles. I believe we may actually be close to having our first 1200 Miler of the year.. and we have a lot of runners well on pace to crash through the 1200 barrier! Additionally this month, I would like to have your feedback on what you think would be the coolest reward to give the 1200 Milers. We haven't really decided what to do quite yet, because frankly, we didn't know how many people would be participating. So now we have a better idea, and before we decide we want to hear from you. So speak up! :-) Remember you must be a BTC member to be a part of the 1200 Mile Club promotion. If you join now, you can still count all your miles for the year, so if you're interested, follow the link to join.. <a href="http://birminghamtrackclub.com/join-the-club">http://birminghamtrackclub.com/join-the-club</a> Here are the rules: * It is the runner's responsibility to keep accurate track of all mileage. It is the runner's responsibility to communicate mileage run each month to the 1200 mile club coordinator. There will be a monthly deadline for submissions. * Races count. Training miles count. Walking miles count. Just as you would count in a normal training log, count here. * Email your mileage to <a href="mailto:1200@birminghamtrackclub.com">1200@birminghamtrackclub.com</a>. Get your submissions in by June 10, and we will post the updated standings on the BTC website. Thanks and Happy Running everyone!
